Thank You, Holly!

We have been so blessed to have Holly McMillen {aka Toy} as one of our Guest Designers. Holly's two-month Guest Designer term was February and March. So before she leaves us, we wanted to sit down and have a little chat with Holly about some stamping (and other) things! Grab a chair and join us!

How long have you been stamping, and how did you start?Ibegan stamping in 2001 when a friend of mine took me to my first SU!party. I had been making embellished journals before that, but hadnever used a rubber stamp!

How would you describe your "style"?That is a good question! Sometimes I am an embellisher... other times I am limited. I think it goes with my mood.

What was the first stamp you ever bought? My first stamp set was a SU! set called LittleSomethings. I still have it :)Describe the "weirdest" stamp you have.Hmmm... I have a piece of pizza stamp that I designed!What is your favorite medium to workwith?Are we talking coloring? If so, Copics by a landslide.

What is your favorite technique?3D. I love to cut things out and pop them. I also love making boxes, bags and other containers.

What is your favorite or most used tool? (Other than the basics: adhesive, scissors, etc.)Definitely my Copics. After that it has to be my x-acto knife.

What inspires you in your stamping?God. Nature... people. I clump them all together. I find inspiration everywhere I look.

What is one of the top items on your stamping wish list?To own ALL of the Nesties. I can't believe it took me so long to get on that bandwagon!

What is one food you couldn't live without?Uh...... chocolate! DUH!

Is there a song title that reflects your personality? Dust in the Wind. 'Nuff said.

Holly has made some simply beautiful creations for us during her term. Here are some favorites:
